    you should be able to use your own wifi router (if you have one) if it has WEP security.

    here is a page that lists some incompatible routers:

    Hold on, have I been a nugget?

    I have a DS Lite and a Wireless router capable of WEP.

    I thought you had to have some sort of Browser Card to use in one of your slots as well as the Browser software to access the NET from your DS. Am I wrong?
    :think: Can anyone explain to me how to put a signature here? :think:
